A well-acted romp that carries just enough weight to justify tuning in, The Musketeers is a campy delight; no one ever hands over a blade when tossing one with a flourish will do, and this time, that’s just as it should be.
While the series is not without humor--including the occasional sexual witticism--it is never camp, a huge plus for devotees of genuine drama.
Old-fashioned it may be in spirit, but this adventure tale is nothing if not exciting.
It's a little cheesy, but never takes itself very seriously.
A fine but unexceptional retelling.
The Czech Republic location shoots convincingly suggest medieval France, but the episodes run an unwieldy 75 minutes long. Capaldi is terrific and commands the screen as if he’s on an HBO series while everyone else is in a cartoon.
Hodges has done a good job weaving new plot twists and characters into the familiar story. The Musketeers may not be either the greatest treatment of the Dumas tale or the most revolutionary, but it is fun for all, and all for fun.
